Axel is Cindy's Dog. He likes playing ball and resting in the shade on a sunny day. You may have guessed he is named after Eddy's kid. I have met both Axel's are they are good company.

Here's another portrait of my wife. I think the eyes still need some work and I may tone the skin with some glazing after some drying time. I liked the smile and look in the eyes from my reference, so that is what I am trying to capture. I also am missing her while she is traveling.

Dragon Boat Study

6" x 12" Oil on mounted canvas.
In the collection of Marilyn Drew.

This is a study for a possible larger painting of a Dragon Boat. It's from a photo of a practice session with Cat Dailey's team. They are preparing for the World Championship if I understand it correctly.

Ultimate Finals

8" x 8" Oil on panel.

This is a study for a larger project. The reference was a photo of my daughter in the Ultimate Nationals. I think I like the crop and the blur on the other player. In a larger format and more time, I will be able to better capture the "Beaker" face she is making.

11" x 14" Oil on mounted linen.

$100 - shipping to US included.

My mom loved The Streets of San Francisco starring Karl Malden. Here is just one street of San Francisco painted from a Different Strokes image. I am tempted to go back into this painting and add the white car from Bullit or am I confused with Vanishing Point? Oh, it all blurs together into the image of a car catching air over a San Francisco cross street.
